Serious Accident to TWO West Paris
Workmen.

WEST PARIS, March 14.-The Bradley Fer
tilizer Company have been for the past few
weeks quarrying quartz rock from the ledge
of S. b. Curtis and Chester FicketU, about
one mile from West Paris. These rocks are
cut into blocks some ten to fifteen inches
square. to form an underpinning for tower
some 200 feet high, in connection with their
fertilizer mandatory at North Weymouth,
Mass. This rock is hard and flint like, and
requires very hard drills and frequently
sharpened in order to drill the rock. Last
Saturday afternoon two of the workmen,
A. ID. Wing and Lester M. Besse, drilled
hole in the rock, fifteen inches deep and one
and half inch hole This they charged,
but it failed to explode, and rather than to
drill another hole they adopted the danger
GUS practice of attempting to drill out the
charge, taking the precaution to keep the
hole filled with water; but as they ap-
preached the powder, the charge exploded,
striking Mr. Wing, who was at the time
striking the drill, in the face and head and
burning and lacerating his face badly, filling
his eyes with powder and dirt. Mr. Besse
suffered most. The discharge blew him
from his place, some little distance, filling
his eyes and face with powder and dirt. His
arms were badly burned and lacerated, and
filed with powder from his elbows to his
hands, and nearly denuded of skin; one
hand was badly injured and one ankle
severely sprained. A physician was called
and found both men suffering terribly from
their injuries. He dressed their wounds
and made them as comfortable as possible
under the circumstances Monday morning
Mr.. Wing was much improved, and hopes
are entertained that both eyes will be saved.
Besse is feverish, although his eyes are

ALADY's EXPERIENCE.
What Miss Mary r. Young Saw and
Heard In the Third Car.

Miss Mary 4. Young of Union Park street
had been visiting friends in Dedham and re-
turned upon the train which met with the
disaster. There was crowd of people on
the platform this morning." she said, "and
my friend and l walked along, trying to find
the least occupied car. We thought first that
we would take one of the last cars, but we
changed our minds and took one of the last
seats in the third car from the engine. We
feel now how fortunate we were in making
this choice. | felt that something was going
to happen while we were passing the bridge.
There was a horrible jar and the bridge
swayed and shook as we went over. Then
the car in which we were began to CRATE and
rumble over the, stones and swayed from
side to side. Suddenly we stopped still right
on the edge Of the bridge land the coupling
broke. In our car there was tremendous
rush to the door, as all the passengers tried
to get out. Some one called out that there
was no danger, and told the crowd to keep
less pushing and crowding, but everyone got

can believe. ] was so excited that / put
my arm through the window, smashing the
glass, and l think that might have

shoulder and told me to follow the others

car found that l had lost my bonnet, but
was clutching in my hand little picture

the bank of the track. There was the car in
which we had been seated on the edge Of the
bridge and the rear end seemed to have lost
its wheels, for it was tipped over. and partly
smashed. Some people were crying out, but,
as a whole, there was not much screaming.
One poor little child was running around
and CRYING. as if 1t had lost its mother and
was irving to find her. 1t was the only child
that saw on the train. One lady was Sit

crushed out of any semblance to human
shape. and SO tightly wedged in they could
be femoved in no other way. One old lady
was taken from the car un-
injured but with clothing torn to shreds
and presenting a generally forlorn appear
ance. She said the women in hercar seemed
panic-stricken at the moment the crash oc-
Cured They all, screamed and shouted,
praying for release. She saw one woman dy-
ing in the seat, while another woman had
her head pillowed on the dying woman's
breast.
One of the most terrible scenes at the acci-
dent was that presented TO those who first
hurried to the street under the bridge. The
headless trunk of woman was found lying
across a timber. with one arm completely
gone and the lower limbs all cut and man
gled. The head was found among the tang
led iron and fragments OF car few feet
away. Some of those who were slightly in
jured were so dazed after being taken out
that they could not realize what had occur

wreck in the direction of Roslindale. When
about a dozen yards from the wreck he fell
dead, either from excitement or Internal in
juries. Daniel Roundy of Rosiindale, had a
most remarkable experience, and his escape
from death is considered miraculous. He
was in the smoking car, and was playing
cards with Ed Snow, Harry Gay and Ser

thing Roundy knew he was in the muddy
street, absolutely uninjured and holding in
his hand the queen of diamonds, which was
covered with blood. His three companions

Mr.. E. T. Bowthorp said to a reporter: Il
got on the train at Roslindale, and went into
the third car Just as we reached the bridge
there was sudden jar that shook the whole
car. Then the car kept humping along over
the sleepers. knew that something had

thought was for that. The door was thrown
open by the shock and was afraid the coal
would fall out. shut the door and crawled
out of a window. Then l ran back to where
the bridge had been. Itwas a terrible sight,
assure you. The passengers were crawling
out of the wreck. They were bleeding, and
their clothing was of course torn in shreds.

get the people out of the fourth car. That
was at the bottom of the pile. pulled eight
or ten women through the windows. Then

been killed at the same time. | stayed there
about an hour. and then came home to let

OBITUARY..
Death of Hon. Eben =. PiIlsbury at
Melrose, Mass.

BOSTON, March 14.-Hon. Eben +. Pills
bury died at his residence at Melr0se, Mass.
Sunday night. He had been In poor health
Tor several years. Mr.. Pillsbury was until
within few years a resident Of Augusta,
Me-, and was regarded as one of the leading
lawyers in that State. He at one time owned
and conducted the Maine Standard. He was
always prominent man in Democratic poll
ties, and during the last Presidential cam
paign made many political addresses in va
rious parts Of the country. Mr.. Pillsbury
first gained notoriety as the editor Of the
Franklin Patriot, paper famous for its
strong pro-slavery and anti-war sentiments,
and published in Franklin county, Maine.
II was claimed that he instigated the famous
kingfeld rebellion, although he has denied
It and claimed that he spoke against resist
ing the draft. AS the head Of the fusion
organization, at the time of the celebrated
Maine c0unt-Out in 1880, he won still greater
fame. he ran for governor of Maine on the
Democratic ticket In 1866, again in 1867, and
again IN 1868, against Gen. Chamberlain, but
From this record he has often been called
"Ex-Goy. Pillsbury," under a misapprehen-
sion.
1t is well-known that President Cleveland
nominated him for Collector of Internal
Revenue for the First Massachusetts dis
tries, but the Senate refused to confirm him.
Mr. Pillsbury was recognized as brilliant
criminal lawyer. He figured in the famous
Lowell murder trial and other celebrated
Maine cases. In private life he was a charm
ing man and his personal character was
never assailed.
Mr.. Pillsbury was born in Kingield, Me-,
and was 62 years old. He was educated in
the public schools; he studied law and was
admitted to the Franklin county bar, where
he soon took leading position. He remov-
ed to Pennington and formed partnership
with j. A. Linscott, Esq, at present the
treasurer of the Maine Central railroad. In
addition to their law practice these gentle
men published the Franklin Patriot, the
Democratic county paper Mr.. Pillsbury
removed to Augusta in 1864. His connection
with the Maine miscount of 1879 is a matter
Of recent history 1t was generally believed
at that time that he was the legal and politi-
cal adviser of Gov. Garcelon and his council.
Mr.. Pillsbury after the count-out went to
Boston and opened law office. He was an
effective public speaker. and twenty years
ago was reckoned the peer of his distinguish
ed neighbor, Mr.. Blaine. with whom he held
apublic discussion in this city in 1861
